Sma’ Shot ottaes
The Sma’ Shot Cottages are a major attraction in the
Renfrewshire area, providing visitors with an insight into two
distinct periods of Paisley’s weaving history!
Wednesday & Saturday 12noon - 4pm / Fridays 1pm - 5pm
Sma Shot Cottages, 2 Sma’ Shot Lane, Paisley, PA1 2HG
Free but donations welcome!
On entering from Shuttle Street, visitors immediately step back into
the 18th century into the typical weaver’s cottage which was originally
built in the 1750s.
The cottage has been matched to written descriptions in histories of
the town and has only been altered slightly from original dimensions
in the 19th century.
On crossing the yard, you will visit a small row of three cottages, dated
70 years ahead in the 1820s - 1840s, where you can immerse yourself
in history as you experience life as a weaver in this historical town
during the 19th century.
Come along and join us in our tea room, where we serve beverages
and homemade goods and share stories of the past.
We are open April - September, every Wednesday & Saturday 12noon
- 4pm and Fridays 1pm - 5pm.
Sma Shot Cottages are owned and run by the Old Paisley Society, a
registered charity. Admission is free, however, all donations towards
the upkeep of the cottages are gratefully accepted.
The Weavers Cottage is wheelchair accessible, as are the ground floor,
garden and the tea room.
